Actor/Politician Michael Douglas, the psychopathic killer from Falling Down, is going to push for adoption of the United Nation's global gun control treaty.
Fatal attraction star Michael Douglas is planning to lobby the US government for tighter gun control, because he's still haunted by rocker John Lennon's 1980 shooting death.As is typical in Hollyweird, celebrities who live behind 12 foot stone walls and can afford to hire armed security escorts, are working overtime to make sure that regular people cannot defend themselves.Lennon was murdered outside his New York City apartment building by Mark Chapman, and the event is one of the major reasons why Douglas wants to use his position as a United Nations Messenger of Peace to lobby for disarmament.
He says: "I was there the night John Lennon was shot, three blocks away. It left a lasting impression on me.
"It motivated me to do whatever I could to lobby for small-arms control."

If actors aren't interested in saving a piece of their own history, why should we? They have the money, they have the clout.

Posted by: sandpiper at December 7, 2005 9:53 AMThere's a theory that the intended target was Yoko, not John. John bent down at the last second, ``Here, let me get that for you...''
The guy would have gotten no jail time for that.
Yoko Ono: I worked grounds crew at a huge apt. development during high school summers and we used to play that AYIEYA screeching song of hers at lunchtime on the sub shop jukebox just to piss off our supervisor. He was a middle aged black guy and he would scowl and tell us it ruined his lunch. We told him it was the most popular song in the US.
